From Milan Design Week 2022
1) The House of Lyria
Lyria is a textile mill in Prato, in the heart of the Italian textile industry district. Founded in 2002 based on an idea by Riccardo Bruni, Lyria has been creating fabrics for fashion designers worldwide for 20 years, focusing on sustainability. At Milan Design Week 2022, The House of Lyria was awarded the third best set design at the first Fuorisalone Awards. The set design, curated by Alessandra Anfuso, was on the top floor of E-Space at Alcova, and depicted a sailing ship.

Journey into a Dream – the name of the scenography – described a dreamlike world where the viewer moved between lights and shadows, dream and reality. A ship on a voyage leads true to a port in which the fabrics represent the ship’s cargo, which has already been made. And the boat, then, is ready to set sail again to other shores.
